3. Patience is Key: Recognise that you are still a runner even if you start with walk-run intervals.
4. Follow a Program: Couch to 5K is recommended as a sensible and structured program for beginners.
5. Listen to Your Body: Be attentive to any signs of discomfort or pain and adjust your training accordingly.
